Council Charter Transportation
The Boy Scouts of America is joining with Transportation Management Services (TMS) to provide safe, efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly transportation solutions for jamboree participants. While TMS will be managing bus registration, arrivals and departures, and all Scout movements during the jamboree, TMS also offers its services for councils to charter buses for transportation to and from the Summit Bechtel Reserve.
What Is TMS?
TMS is a transportation management firm. Its safety standards meet all federal regulations, and its experience over the last two decades for similar events positions it to assist the Boy Scouts of America and Exploring. TMS can handle all the logistics to get your council to and from the jamboree.
Why Book Your Council Travel With TMS?
TMS will work with its preferred suppliers around the United States to provide lower bus pricing for your unit(s). In addition, it may be able to use the vehicles and drivers brought in from other states during the jamboree, thus saving costs for the councils and reducing environmental impact by maximizing available resources. Buses and drivers booked through TMS will be provided with local accommodations, training, accreditation, and meals. Further, TMS carries $10 million of insurance, which supplements the insurance coverage of its extensive pool of bus operators. To book your bus through TMS, please go to www.tms.com and click on the jamboree logo in the upper right-hand corner. After TMS gathers the necessary information, it will create a quote for your council. TMS Offers:
• Contingency plans for unexpected emergencies on the road
• Convenient, no-hassle, online quoting, and payment options
• Only $100 to hold your reservation, followed by three payments
• High safety standards
• $10 million of insurance
• DVD/video options
• Environmentally friendly transportation solutions
TMS will work with you to plan for and conduct the transportation element of the jamboree. If TMS coordinates your transportation, you will not have to worry as much about this vital piece of your jamboree experience.
What If Our Council Books Its Own Transportation?
TMS’s team will manage all bus movements during the event, in part due to limited space at the Summit Bechtel Reserve and related off-site locations. If you do not book your travel through TMS, we recommend that you convey this information to the bus operator when booking your reservation.
Please note: Specific arrival times for registration day and departure times for the following day will be assigned by TMS and must be followed. Bus permits for those days indicating assigned times will be required for all vehicles.
For all questions regarding transportation, please email questions to [email protected].
This information is specific to local council charters. Information regarding airport shuttles for JST will be available at a later date.
Staff Arrivals
Upon arrival at the check-in point, proceed to the closest greeter tent to receive your personalized check-in form. The form will reflect the status of all the requirements that must be met before check-in can be completed and credentials can be handed out. The registration greeters will direct staff members to the appropriate location based on the status of their requirements. Also, on each form will be a public health questionnaire pertaining to any illnesses that may have arisen during travel. This must be completed by the jamboree service team before obtaining credentials.
Once all requirements are completed, proceed to the Registration HQ to pick up jamboree credentials. Stations will be designated by alphabet of last name. Having all the requirements met before arriving on-site will dramatically cut the length of time spent on the check-in process. ALL requirements must be met before leaving the Registration area.
Private Vehicles
For those traveling in a personal vehicle, please refer to the following policies:
- In the coming months, you will be given instructions on where to park your vehicle. The Jamboree Executive Committee is developing a plan so that each staff member will have walking access (<0.5 miles) from your personal vehicle. This accommodation is being offered so that staff may have flexibility with personal storage.
- Staff will have scheduled/intermittent opportunities to access your vehicle during the event to leave the property. Additional information on this process will be made available as planning is finalized.
- Vehicular traffic will be kept to a minimum at the Summit. Violation of established vehicle protocols may result in disciplinary action.
